For pro-family tax policy

In a presentation (click here and scroll to the 36:40 mark) last week in Virginia Beach, historian Allan Carlson mentioned some encouraging "pockets of resistance" to the overweening state. I asked him (at the 119:30 mark) what public policy can do to help.

Educational Choice in a Nutshell

The end goal of “public education” is an educated public. There are many different means to an end. Educational choice refers to any policy that allows parents to choose the safest and best schools for their children, whether those schools are government-operated or privately operated.

In a free society, the government rightly defers to parents when it comes to raising their children. And since education is simply a subset of parenting, the government should defer to parents when it comes to educating their children. Parents, not government officials, have the moral right to determine their child’s path.
